How to uninstall Anaconda completely from MacOS
How can I completely uninstall Anaconda from MacOS Sierra and revert back to the original Python? I have tried using conda-clean -yes but that doesn't work. I also remove the stuff in ~/.bash_profile but it still uses the Anaconda python and I can still run the conda command.
python macos anaconda uninstall

To remove the configs:
conda install anaconda-clean
anaconda-clean --yes
Once the configs are removed you can delete the anaconda install folder, which is usually under your home dir:
rm -rf ~/anaconda3
Also, the anaconda-clean --yes command creates a backup in your home directory of the format ~/.anaconda_backup/<timestamp>. Make sure to delete that one also.
EDIT (v5.2.0): Now if you want to clean all, you will also have to delete the two last lines added to your .bash_profile. They look like:
# added by Anaconda3 5.2.0 installer
export PATH="/Users/ody/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

To uninstall Anaconda open a terminal window and remove the entire anaconda install directory:
rm -rf ~/anaconda
Edit*:
~/.bash_profile
and remove the anaconda directory from your PATH environment variable.
Remove the following hidden files and directories, which may have been created in the home directory:
.condarc
.conda.continuum
Use:
rm -rf ~/.condarc ~/.conda ~/.continuum
You may need to edit .bashrc and/or .profile instead*

- First, quit the Anaconda app.
- Then open the Activity Monitor select Anaconda and click to terminate.
- Remove Anaconda to Trash.
Find and remove Anaconds's service files:
~/Library/Receipts/io.continuum.pkg.anaconda-client.bom
~/Library/Receipts/io.continuum.pkg.anaconda-client.plist
~/Library/Receipts/io.continuum.pkg.anaconda-navigator.bom
~/Library/Receipts/io.continuum.pkg.anaconda-navigator.plist
~/Library/Receipts/io.continuum.pkg.anaconda-project.bom
~/Library/Receipts/io.continuum.pkg.anaconda-project.plist
~/Library/Receipts/io.continuum.pkg.anaconda.bom
~/Library/Receipts/io.continuum.pkg.anaconda.plist
- ~/anaconda3
- ~/.bash_profile-anaconda3.bak
- ~/.condarc ~/.conda
- ~/.anaconda
The last step is to empty the Trash folder.

Open the terminal and remove your entire Anaconda directory, which will have a name such as “anaconda2” or “anaconda3”, by entering the following command: rm -rf ~/anaconda3. Then remove conda with command "conda uninstall" https://conda.io/docs/commands/conda-uninstall.html.

write echo $PATH in your terminal to check if there is some reference to anaconda, if there is use export PATH="/path/you/want/to/keep"

This is one more place that anaconda had an entry that was breaking my python install after removing Anaconda. Hoping this helps someone else.
If you are using yarn, I found this entry in my .yarn.rc file in ~/"username"
python "/Users/someone/anaconda3/bin/python3"
removing this line fixed one last place needed for complete removal. I am not sure how that entry was added but it helped

This has worked for me:
conda remove --all --prefix /Users/username/anaconda/bin/python
then also remove from $PATH in .bash_profile

This is a nice idea, but according to the documentation, this is meant for removal of conda environments. Here is the way Anaconda suggests: usinganaconda-clean

Adding export PATH="/Users/<username>/anaconda/bin:$PATH" (or export PATH="/Users/<username>/anaconda3/bin:$PATH" if you have anaconda 3)
to my ~/.bash_profile file, fixed this issue for me.

After performing the very helpful suggestions from both spicyramen & jkysam without immediate success, a simple restart of my Mac was needed to make the system recognize the changes. Hope this helps someone!

To uninstall Anaconda open a terminal window and remove the entire anaconda install directory:
rm -rf ~/anaconda
Edit*:
~/.bash_profile
and remove the anaconda directory from your PATH environment variable.
Remove the following hidden files and directories, which may have been created in the home directory:
.condarc
.conda.continuum
Use:
rm -rf ~/.condarc ~/.conda ~/.continuum
You may need to edit .bashrc and/or .profile instead*

Open the terminal and remove your entire Anaconda directory, which will have a name such as “anaconda2” or “anaconda3”, by entering the following command: rm -rf ~/anaconda3. Then remove conda with command "conda uninstall" https://conda.io/docs/commands/conda-uninstall.html.

This is one more place that anaconda had an entry that was breaking my python install after removing Anaconda. Hoping this helps someone else.
If you are using yarn, I found this entry in my .yarn.rc file in ~/"username"
python "/Users/someone/anaconda3/bin/python3"
removing this line fixed one last place needed for complete removal. I am not sure how that entry was added but it helped

This has worked for me:
conda remove --all --prefix /Users/username/anaconda/bin/python
then also remove from $PATH in .bash_profile

This is a nice idea, but according to the documentation, this is meant for removal of conda environments. Here is the way Anaconda suggests: usinganaconda-clean

Adding export PATH="/Users/<username>/anaconda/bin:$PATH" (or export PATH="/Users/<username>/anaconda3/bin:$PATH" if you have anaconda 3)
to my ~/.bash_profile file, fixed this issue for me.

After performing the very helpful suggestions from both spicyramen & jkysam without immediate success, a simple restart of my Mac was needed to make the system recognize the changes. Hope this helps someone!
